    Anybody encountered this before?(electrical)

    I just replaced my direct drive starter for a gear reduction starter as the old was on it's way out. The truck sat for a month before I got around to doing it. After the new starter was in I hook up my batteries and go to start it. The starter fired fine but I think I lost prime in the fuel...

    KaBOOOOM---and the M1009 is dead

    Well, until I get back there this morning with new batteries. I get in last night after a cookout at the in-laws and as I initiate the starter I hear an immediate blast that was equivalent to a .50 cal pop. The truck goes dead at this point and I'm wondering what in the world happened. I just...

    Who has installed A/C in their CUCV?

    I've seen threads in the past where many say they're going to do it, but I'd like some input from those who've done it. I'm wondering what my best option is. I don't really want to convert to 12V, which would probably be the easiest route considering you could get the stuff from a civilian...

    WMO(used motor oil) in 6.2 M1009

    I've scoured all the threads in the alternative fuels section and learned a vast amount of info on all types of fuels for different MV's. I saw many opinions and theories regarding using WMO in the 6.2. But never saw exactly what I was searching for. What I really want to know is: Are any of...

    Interesting disaster experience in my M1009

    A tornado just ripped through my town Friday night(APR 10) very close to my house. I, being the helpful type, jumped in the truck and went into an area that had significant damage to see if I could aid anybody that may need help. There was only one police cruiser and 1 firetruck on the scene...

    Anybody got an extra blackout drive light?

    Somebody apparently snatched mine before I got it. I don't have to have it, but it's pretty much the only thing my truck is lacking from being 100%.

    Very successfull M1009 Recovery

    I made my trek to Huntsville to pick up my M1009 from the NG armory, the Redstone GL and DRMO folks are all great folks to deal with and I've got nothing but good things to say about them. I trailered the vehicle back to east GA and to my dismay, I lost use of the trailer brake on the return...

    Anybody got a trailer I can use for M1009 if needed(Redstone to Augusta, GA)

    I'm looking at recovering my M1009 from the armory at Redstone early next week (3-22 or 3-23). From what I've gathered, it seems my truck may run well and I could drive it home. But we know how that works, don't we? I'm asking if anybody in the N. GA/ N. AL area may be willing to loan me a...

    Newbie GL question

    I'm looking at bidding and hopefully picking up a CUCV in a GL auction soon. I've read and researched quite a bit for the last couple of weeks trying to prepare the best I can for the day I go and pick the baby up. (yeah, yeah, yeah..... I've read all the pros and cons and know what I'm...
